Gum Recession 101

Posted on Jun 15, 2017 7:52am PDT

Gum recession is when your gums pull away from your teeth, but why does
it happen? This is a symptom of gum disease, and it could mean that you’re
not taking care of your teeth properly. Check out this video clip to learn
a little bit about gum recession.

Like many health conditions, gum recession will get worse if you fail to
treat it. People typically suffer from gum recession because of trauma
to the mouth, gum disease, or abnormal tooth positioning. Talk to your
dentist about scaling and root planing to reduce your risk of gum recession
and enjoy your smile.
